In the midst of running a small business, the occasional inaccurate timesheet shows up. Albeit the vast majority of business partners act in good faith, that tiny fraction of suspicious activity is worth examining.

Clinical staff work unauthorized hours? Or perhaps worse, they accrue hours that have not been performed?

Fraud does not only affect the bottom line, but also damages employee morale and relationships.

Good organizations prevent these tempting “mistakes” by constantly monitoring payroll activities and auditing process with professional skepticism. Even better, wise organizations create a culture of transparency and accountability through the use of such techniques.

In summary, no business is exempt of employee fraud. Is responsibility of the company to prevent it.
